Five students at a Buddhist college in Japan realise the job market is tough these days, among the living, that is! But their unique spiritual and scientific talents might help them get work from the dead, for they can contact the spirits of corpses and speak with them. And if a body is found hanging from a tree or lying in an alley, it's probably got a story to tell! The five form The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, specialising in carrying out the last wishes of their dead clients, so their souls can move on. Codice articolo CIN1506700551G
